Lovefilm Cancellation
Just called up Lovefilm to cancel due to an overseas move. I'm on the one disc at a time, 2 discs a month package. I have one disc here. When I cancelled he told me I'd need to send the current DVD back. Then he said, 'And they've just sent you out another disc today'. He told me this was a 'bonus disc'. My account shows…

Fedup with Cold Callers
I am absolutely fed-up with cold callers at my door who ignore my notice, so I am thinking of novel ways to deter cold callers from calling. Here are some ideas for NO COLD CALLERS SIGNS... 1. Cold Callers will be hung, drawn and quartered 2. Cold Callers will be clamped, towed away and crushed 3. Cold Callers will be…

Yeomans Outdoors
What's happened to all the prices in Yeomans. They used to be an old fashioned but well stocked and straightforward camping shop. Now its Sale Time - Sale Time - Sale Time. But the prices seem to have gone up to come down, if you see what I mean. A little bird tells me the new management likes it that way.

Cashing In
Perhaps this should be in the ebay section, but is it just me or have there been a sudden deluge of Amy Winehouse items, notably cd's and vinyl records appearing on ebay over the weekend? They seem to be attracting plenty of bids so why not cash in eh?

Valued opinions a waste of time/scam?
I joined valued opinions a few weeks ago and have had a number of surveys sent to me, most of which have had me answer 10-15 questions then tell me they have reached the quota for my age group etc and end the survey meaning I waste my time answering the questions for nothing!

RANT:Why are refunds not allowed to match when...
being credited back to an account? I had $12.00 taken out of my credit card account by mistake. On that day the conversion was $12.00 = £7.65 The company admitted their error and refunded $12.00 to my account BUT on this day: $12.00 = £7.15!! My rant and venting is: Is it fair that a refund credit should be less than the…

MCE insurance warning
I had the misfortune to insure my bike with a company called MCE insurance. I am so annoyed and angry right now, so I will keep to the facts. 1) upon cancellation of my policy (sold the bike) they said it would take 8 weeks to process any request for refund 2) within that period I closed and moved my account, my choice,…

Are any Groupon restaurant deals not a total rip off? (Rafayel on the Left Bank)
I recently bought a groupon for a three course buffet at Rafayel on the Left Bank. What an absolute joke this was. The "buffet" consisted of three different choices, two of which were disgusting pasta with a few mussles in it. The other a lasagne that even I could have made better aged 2. I don't understand how they called…

Lat payment fee
Checking up on my credit card summary I found that I had been charged £12 for a late payment. This caused an eyebrow to raise since on the 4th July I checked the summary and paid sufficient funds for the account to be in credit. Obviously I phoned the credit card company. I had a great deal of difficulty following what the…

What's your time worth?
Last week I scheduled a re-delivery with Royal Mail. Spent the day at home waiting for the doorbell to ring. It never did. The next day I had to walk to the depot (30 minutes), wait 15 minutes in the queue, then walk back home carrying the parcel. All this despite having paid for a service that's meant to bring the damned…

*update* Toysrus parking charge
We received a lovely(!) 'parking eye' parking charge through the post yesterday for overstaying our welcome in the Toysrus car park in Bradford. I wouldn't mind but we were genuinely trawling the shop with our two toddlers, up and down the lego and fairy aisles! We were totally unaware we'd overstayed the ridiculous 1 hour…

Praise for Thomson (is it a first?)
:D We are off to the Costa Dorada in 2 weeks. They told us we could take our 4 year olds Maclaren Major buggy to the gate as its classed as a mobility device (they let you take up to two mobility aids). My son sleeps with a weighted blanket and although this isn't a mobility device they said we could take it, and they have…

Hammonds Bedroom Sales Technique
Had Hammonds round to design and quote for our fitted bedroom at the weekend. We like the quality of their units (my mum had a Hammonds bedroom fitted 5-6 years ago) and they supposedly aren't as pushy as [STRIKE]Sharks[/STRIKE] Sharps. We agreed on a design and the designer worked out the initial, catalogue price for all…

Car Park attendant stupidity
I was talking to a friend who has a blue badge and a child seat in his car. At a certain car park the parent and child parking spaces are equidistant from the disabled parking spaces. When he has his grandchild he parks in the parent and child spaces because they are nearer to the car park entrance unless they are full…
